My “I’m Ashamed Of My Government” Moment

by Staff | Jan 29, 2008 9:56 am | Comments (4)

Christine Kim writes in: “I had an ‘I’m ashamed of my city government’ moment. Some friends who just moved to New Haven registered to vote in Connecticut, and they had no idea of where to go. Personally, I just drive around my ward and see where all the sign are. I went to go look on the Registrar of Voters website — and lo and behold, they had a comprehensive list of polling places … from 2006. When I called the Registrar of Voters, they said that they couldn’t put the list up on their website, and everyone should just call their office. Sad but true. I called up [city Chief Administrative Officer] Rob Smuts to see if the Registrar of Voters was in his purview, but no. But hopefully they can get their act together and enfranchise their citizens.”
